Client review on receiving his 4 yard kilt . The proof is in the pudding

I thought I'd include Jonathan's review of his new kilt. This is the 2nd I have made for him. This is unedited and straight from the horses mouth.

The flaps are like unwanted bunny ears that are visible when wearing the kilt, they have to be folded and sewn so that no visible parts can be seen from the outer and inner aprons.
How to make a 4 yard kilt. Part 21. Pressing the kilt
Просмотров 174Год назад
Don't iron. Press the kilt. There is a difference. I spay the kilt with a pH6 that I collect from my water ionizer. Through a process of electrolysis, my water flows from my faucet into my Japanese medical device, splitting the water and restructuring it to various pH's for different uses. This also makes phenomenal drinking water. I wet the kilt both front and back and use the wool setting on ...

How to make a 4 yard kilt. Part 19. Sewing the cotton lining
Просмотров 180Год назад
The purpose of a lining is to add to the comfort of the wearer; preserve the shape of a garment or add body to it; and conceal construction details and raw edges of the horse hair canvas, thus giving a finished appearance to the inside of the garment. A neatly applied lining usually adds to a garment quality.

The traditional 4 yard kilts never used buckles or straps. They were fastened by using ribbon. I prefer just using 2 buckles and 2 customed made leather straps.

Просмотров 3112 года назад
plural noun: buckles 1. a flat, typically rectangular frame with a hinged pin, used for joining the ends of a belt or strap. The buckle or clasp is a device used for fastening two loose ends, with one end attached to it and the other held by a catch in a secure but adjustable manner. The buckle essentially consists of four main components: the frame, chape, bar, and prong. I use a 2mm or 1.1/2 ...

To use a tartan waist band or not to use a tartan waist band, that's the question. I prefer using Birch Cotton Heading Tape Dark Obsidian. www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/fabric-by-the-metre/birch-cotton-heading-tape/BP80142486011-dark-obsidian
How to make a 4 yard kilt. Part 13. Sewing the bar tack. Davidson modern tartan
Просмотров 1772 года назад
In sewing, bar tack, also written bar-tack or bar-tack, refers to a series of stitches used to reinforce areas of the button-hole that may be subject to stress or additional wear. My bar-tacks are sewn by hand, using whip stitches. The process for sewing a bar tack is essentially to sew several long, narrowly-spaced stitches along the line of the bar that will be formed, followed by short stitc...

How to make a 4 yard kilt. Part 9. Sewing the outside apron. Davidson modern tartan
Просмотров 3102 года назад
I had an epiphany this morning and decided to move the centre line. I had more than enough tartan to play with and by me moving the centre line, opened up the possibility of me matching the outer apron seam to the black of the back pleats. Riveting stuff this is.

Just because it's pinned that doesn't mean it can't be altered. Some minor tweaking on this inner apron was needed to get the proper dimensions sorted. Also, I used a ripped off-cut as an inner apron seam booster. This worked out well.

I might have to make a Mcphee Clan one 🎉 top work
Glad to have come across your channel, which I found while searching for videos on creating the belt buckles “button hole”. I look forward to viewing the rest of your videos.
Excellent bar tacks and leather work, not to mention the perfect seams. I never even noticed the diagonal line u til you pointed it out.
Thank you for your kind words.
this channel deserve more view ans sub than this time.
Thanks for your feedback
You are an extraordinary modern kilt maker.
Certainly enjoy your technique.
I have watched this video three times now and still am not sure how you select the starting line for the first pleat. I understand the center line and where the fell is located. I understand you want the back to be 20" wide after pleating. How do you know how many pleats there will be and how wide to make the pleats. These are very good videos so thank you for your attention to detail.
What determines the amount of pleats that I use is the dimensions of the back in terms of inches. So in this case, I had an 18 inch back (I think). So I will just fill in the amount of pleats that make up those 18 inches. So sometimes it could be 8 pleats, or even 9 pleates. What also determines the amount of pleats is the size of the bar of the tartan
Hi, I am from HONG KONG. I follow your RUclips video: How to make a 4 yard Kilt(1-21). Athough my work is not perfect, thanks a lot for you kindly sharing. ㅊ ㅍ ㅊ I make a Kilt to my daughter. I will make again in the following weeks. Thanks a lot! ^~^ Wish you Health and Happy ALL DAY. ㅇ ㅗ ㅇ Ariel from HONG KONG
This is the absolute best video I've found for stitching pleats. The zoom in is perfect, and now I'm confident on moving forward! It took a lot of youtube searching to arrive here, and that's just not right. I hope you return the making more videos, but I understand it adds so much to your work load with creating, filming, editing, and after having a mishap where the videos were deleted, I totally understand.
Thanks
Great review. Website?
No website. Do you think I need one?
This was very helpful! I had a lot of trouble interpreting the directions from the TAoK about sewing down the fell.
I love Barb and have bought her book, however I had the same problem, so I reverse engeneered a kilt that I bought and figured it out myself
What camera are you using for your setup? Especially being able to get it close, I am curious! :)
DJI pocket
This is an ingenious method of a waistband. I plan to undo my 7 yard kilt that I made, and remake following the steps you've done here. At 61in waist, it's going to be a thing of beauty I'm sure. 😁
I prefer using this waist band rather than using tartan
"Fascinating stuff" 👏 amazing...
Thanks
Excellent Honest review.
I took all of Jonathan's video's as is without a single edit. What's the point of this video if the outcome is bogus?
Got dat puddin'!
Da proof is always in da puddin!
Very many thanks for making this video series.
Most welcome! This was really unintentional. Was making smaller clips and adding them to my clients so that they can see the process, so I thought, why not share it to the world. Takes about 20 hours to hand stich a kilt but 40 hours to edit.
Just wanna say thanks so much for making this series! Knowledge in kiltmaking is hoarded to the point that we are loosing it so seriously Thank You!! I’m based in Scotland and everything is either behind massive paywalls, ‘good luck’ or ‘sorry it’s trade secrets’. Rattles me rotten haha! Hopefully going to be making my own box pleated kilt following your walk-through in the next month or so. Do you think you’ll ever do walk-through’s for other kinds of kilts too? If not that’s ok, you’ve done a fantastic job of making this series approachable and explaining everything.
Post a video when you make it. I'm making one soon too!
Thanks so much for your reply. I have made so many kilts over the years, 4, 6 and 8 yards and everything in between. I particularly enjoy acquiring vintage kilts, unpick the mass, wash and then restoring them to fit my mass. This is truly addictive. Stay tuned, more to follow.
Now the ripping makes even more sense. Nice presentation!
Always rip. Never cut. You will always get a perfect edge. I love the sound. I cringed the first time I ripped though!
@@thebeardedkilter4467 I remember you sending me a vid of you ripping mine ( the Old Stewart), I cringed but trusted your judgement!
Very interesting mate! I was surprised to see a couple of 22oz tartans, where did you get them from? Also pleased to see the Glenorchy there and a piece of my Old Stewart on your wall 😀 Great vid
I get all the 'old' 22 ounce kilts from Ebay. Kilts that were in the 2nd world war, old regimental kilts or unwanted estate sell-offs. I then restore them to fit me. I really love the process.
@@thebeardedkilter4467 classic! These are my two channels, the kung fu one and the Portal Superpowers, about human abilities outside the accepted norm etc. Dave from Murwillumbah 😀 Love your skills and enthusiasm mate, great channel! Looking forward to winter and my regular kilt days!
What a fantastic series Garth! I am learning so much about how you made my two beautiful traditional 4 yarders. Cheers brother!
My pleasure! More to follow. Have really beautiful tartans that I have imported from a Scottish tartan historian, I and just battling to find the time. This is only a hobby for me.
I don't understand the 2 inches in the schematic (between hips and waist). If the fell, between hips and waist, is one third of the kilt length, then what is meant with the 2"? You have done an excellent job with these videos, thank You! I live in Finland and I have become very interested in owning a kilt and wearing one too. I can't afford a ready made kilt so I decided to make it myself. With Your help I can do it :)
Same, I'm making my own kilt just for fun.
The 2 inch refers to the 'rise' of the kilt. From the middle of the strap to the top of the kilt (waist) is 2 inches. The higher up the waist the higher the 'rise'. I particularly prefer for myself a higher rise of 3 inches. For me the higher the kilt sits around my waist the more comfortable it feels.
Love those opening scenes !!
Thanks Henry. I live in a beautiful part of the world here in Margaret River. The beach life is spectacular. Having spent 23 years as an instructor trainer and PADI Course Director basically SCUBA diving all over the world, I still like this West Australian coastline best. It's rugged, bare and utterly spectacular.
I already own too many kilts. My men own kilts. And I live in Florida. Signed, DE Graham
One can never have too many kilts.
Really love those opening scenes and the cute little doggie !!
I love the little white dog too
I wish I had a waist of 34 inches again!! Interesting to see the math that goes into a bespoke piece of a tartan kilt. Congratulations on your knowledge base on this subject. Even very intriguing to someone that will never wear a kilt.
You and me both! You are never to old to wear a kilt. My oldest gent was 89. He wanted to get buried in his regimental colours.
Next time I make a kilt I will use your method!! Good show, good information!
Please do! Again, this is only my method. There are plenty out there. As a self taught I just reversed engineered kilts and figured it out myself. Not rocket science, just good fun. The more kilts I make the better I get. Ironic, isn't it?
